“TO SOOTHE THE SAVAGE BREAST”: MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
Furniture Gallery
Opening November 1, 2008
Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast,
To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
William Congreve (1670-1729)
The musical instruments exhibit in the Furniture Gallery will spotlight a number of interesting examples from PPHM’s permanent collection as well as private collections. The musical instruments on display will include several used by American Indians, a rare Broadwood Square Piano made in London in 1789, an aluminum bass viol dating from the mid-1930s, a violin once owned by Bob Wills, a portable pump organ used on the USS Oakland during World War II, and an electric guitar from the 1960s.
